UYESU UYAKUTHANDA Siyavuyisana nawe kakhulu ngesigqibo osithathileyo sokulandela uYesu. Sikholelwa ukuba uhambo lokwazana noYesu lubangcono xa unobudlelwane nabanye abantu. Mhlawumbi unemibuzo emininzi, yiyo le nto siqulunqe esi sikhokelo sintsuku ma-21 ukukunceda ukhule ebudlelwaneni bakho noYesu, kwanokukunceda ufumane indawo yakho ecaweni.

Incwadi yabaseRoma 10:9 ithi 'Ngokuba, xa uthe wamvuma ngomlomo wakho ukuba 'uyiNkosi uYesu', wakholwa ngentliziyo yakho ukuba uThixo waamvusa kwabafileyo, wosindiswa.'

Usindiso sisipho uThixo asinika sona sitsho sibengabantwana baKhe. Olu lulwamkelo olungenakubhangiswa elusapheni lukaThixo, kunye nokuxhotyiswa ukuba siphile ubomi ngokupheleleyo nangokugqibeleleyo ngenjongo yokubonakalisa uThixo kwindalo yakhe yonke.

Ukuba awuqinisekanga ngobudlelwane phakathi kwakho noThixo okanye ngokuba uyamdinga uYesu ebomini bakho, unokukhetha ukumlandela ngokuthandaza umthandazo wokuzinikela kuYesu.

Yesu Mhlekazi, ndenza lo mthandazo kuba ndiyazazi ndonile ngokuziphilela ngaphandle Kwakho. Ndicela uxolo kwaye ndiyathemba ukuba uzakundixolela. Ndiyalwamkela uthando nobabalo Lwakho kum kwaye ndicela ukuba ube yiNkosi yam. Ndincede ndikholelwe Kuwe ndikuthande yonke imihla, kwaye ndincede ndibonise ilizwe ukuba unjani Wena, nendlela lukhulu ngayo uthando Lwakho. Ngegama likaYesu. Amen.

Halala! Ngokuthandaza la mazwi ngentliziyo ezinikeleyo kuYesu, sisiqalo solona hambo lubalulekileyo onokuluthatha: uhambo lokulandela uYesu.

Umhla:Igama:

USUKU LOKU 1: NGUBANI UTHIXO?

Inyanga ijikeleza umhlaba, umhlaba wona ujikeleza ilanga Ebomini bethu, sinento yokufuna ukunciphisa uThixo simlinganise nenyanga, ibenguye osijikelezayo. Kodwa iBhayibhile isizobela umfanekiso owohlukileyo ngoThixo: uThixo onenkazimlo nobuqaqawuli obumenza abayeyona nto ibalulekileyo ezimpilweni zethu, hayi ingxowa njee yenkolo ebekwe bucala. Nangona ilizwe elichazwayo eBhayibhileni lohluke kakhulu kweli langoku siphila kulo, iindaba ezimnandi zezokuba loThixo useBhayibhileni, akakaguquki tu. Njengoko sifuna tanci ukwazi ngoThixo, iinkcazelo eziseBhayibhileni zonke zidibene zisikhombisa inyani engaguqu-guqiyo ngoThixo. Masifunde ngendoda eyakhe yadibana noThixo.

Isifundisa ntoni iBhayibhile?1 Ngomnyaka wokufa kokumkani u-Uziya, ndayibona iNkosi ihleli etroneni ende enyukileyo; amasondo eengubo zayo ezirholayo azalisa itempile. 2 Kumi iiserafi* ngaphezu kwayo, iyileyo inamaphiko amathandathu, ngamabini ifihle ubuso bayo, ngamabini ifihle iinyawo zayo, ngamabini iphaphazela. 3 Iyileyo idanduluke kuleyo isithi. Uyingcwele, uyingcwele, uyingcwele uYehova wemikhosi; buzalise ihlabathi lonke ubuqaqawuli bakhe. 4 Yadidizela imigubasi yeminyango lilizwi lowadandulukayo; yaye indlu izele ngumsi. 5 Ndathi, Athi ke mna! Ngokuba ndithe shwaka, ngokuba ndiyindoda emlomo uyinqambi; ndihleli phakathi kwabantu abamilomo iyinqambi; ngokuba amehlo am abone ukumkani, uYehova weMikhosi yeZulu. 6 Yaphaphazela yeza kum enye yeeserafi, iphethe ilahle elivuthayo, elithabathe ngesithabatho esibingelelweni; 7 Yalifikisa emlonyeni wam, yathi, Yabona, eli lahle lifikile nje emlonyeni wakho, bususiwe ubugwenxa bakho, nesono sakho sicanyagushelwe. 8 Ndeva izwi leNkosi, lisithi, Ndothuma bani na? Ngubani na owosiyela? 9 Ndathi, Ndikho, thuma mna. UIsaya 6:1-9

Ithetha ukuthini kum?Angafaniswa nantoni uThixo? Sibona ukuba :1) UyiKumkani yanaphakade (V1). Nangona iikumkani zehlabathi zifika zidlule, uThixo uhlala ehleli ebhotweni laKhe. 2) uPhezulu uphakamile (v2). UyiNgangalala. 3) Ungcwele. Ithetha ukuba unyulu kakhulu wohluke ngokugqibeleleyo. 4) NKOSI (v3). Igama lesiHebhere ngu 'Shaddai' lithetha ukuba lowo unamandla okuthethelela abo bam-biza ngomxhelo wonke. 5) Mdali (v3). Wadala izulu nomhlaba. 6) Unobuqaqawuli (v3). Uzuko lukaThixo bubuqaqawuli obumangalisayo bokugqibelela kwakhe. Izulu lizele luzuko lwakhe.

Kufuneka siphendule sithini ke ngoko? Xa sidibana naye siyakukumnqula, nje ngezingelosi (v3), singcangcazeliswe bubungangamsha bakhe (v5) sivume izono zethu (v5), samkele uxolelo lwezono nesandla sakhe esihlambululayo (v7) sizame iindlela zokubalisela abanye ngokumangalisa kwaKhe (v8).

Ndingenza ntoni mna?Uyakholwa ukuba uThixo ufana nqwa naloThixo uchazwayo apha? Ukuba ubom bakho bebufaniswa nehlabathi, ingaba uThixo unjenge nyaga okanye unjenge langa kuwe?

Ufuna ukufunda banzi?Funda u-Isaya 40:12-27 neeNdumiso 103.

LITHINI INYATHELO ELILANDELAYO?Xelela umntu ngsigqibo osithathileyo sokulandela uYesu. Kufuneka sonke sibenabantu esiyihamba nabo le ndlela. Ngubani onokuthetha naye, ubuze imibuzo kwaye um-balisele ngemisebenzi kaThixo ebomini bakho

USUKU IWESI 2: NGUBANI NA UYESU?

Ayipheli imibuzo esiyibuzayo ngoThixo: Ingaba ukhona nyhani na uThixo? Ingaba izinto esizaziyo ngoThixo ziyinyani na? Ungenaphi uThixo ebomini bam?

IBhayibhile ingangayiphenduli yonke imibuzo esinayo ngoThixo, amaxesha amaninzi loo mibuzo izala eminye imibuzo, kodwa enye yezinto ezicace gca eBhayibhileni, yimpendulo yalo m-buzo: ngubani uYesu?

UYesu uncoma intetho yomPostile uPetros, xa uPetros evuma esithi, uYesu 'unguMesiya, uNyana kaThixo ophilayo' (Mateyu 16:16), ngenxa yokuba yena Yesu wayezazi ukuba Ungubani - kwaye enokuba ngubani kuthi - unamandla okuguqula ubomi bethu. Uyesu wohlukile kuba kuye kudibana imihlaba emibini: iZulu noMhlaba, okaThixo nowomntu.

Ewe, igama laKhe lodlula onke amanye amagama, kwaye amandla akhe amphefumlo uvelisa iinkwenkwezi, azolisa izaqhwithi, enza imimangaliso, agqwese konke. Kananjalo, kuYesu ukwangumntu, umhlobo osenyongweni oyaziyo intlungu yakho okukhathaleleyo.Yiyo loo nto iBhayibhile isithi ungu 'Imanyuweli' uThixo Unathi.

Isifundisa ntoni iBhayibhile?16 Kuba wenjenje uThixo ukulithanda kwakhe ihlabathi, ude wancama uNyana wakhe okuphela kwamzeleyo, ukuze bonke abakholwayo kuye bangatshabalali, koko babe nobomi obungunaphakade. U-Yohane 3:16

38 Kuba ndeyisekile kukuba nakufa, nabomi, nazithunywa zezulu, nazilawuli, naziphathamandla, nanto zikhoyo, nanto zizayo, nabuphakamo, 39 nabunzulu, nasinye isidalwa esisimbi, asiyi kuba nako ukusahlula thina eluthandweni lukaThixo...KwabaseRoma 8:38-39

Ithetha ukuthini kum?Ingaba uThixo ukukhathalele? Ewe kunjalo! Siyaz'elaphi loo nto? Amaxesha amaninzi siyazikhupha eluthandweni lukaThixo ngenxa yemvelaphi yethu, iziphoso neziphene zethu. Isono sohlukanisa umntu noThixo kwaye thina asinakuze siyilungise loo nto ngokuziphucula ngemisebenzi emihle. Ngoko ke siyenza njani into yokwamkela into esingayisebenzelanga? IBhayibhile ithi akukho nanye into enokusohlukanisa nothando lukaThixo olukuYesu Krestu iNkosi (KwabaseRoma 8:38). Ukwamkela uthando lukaThixo, kukuthemba imo yakhe yokubanomonde, uxolelo izono, nobabalo lwakhe kuthi. Nguye Yedwa onamandla okusikhulula etyaleni, kwihlazo nomgwebo asinike ubomi obugqibeleleyo.Inye nje into efunekayo kukuguqukela kuYe.

Ndingenza ntoni mna?Yamkela uthando lwaKhe namhlanje. Mvumele akuthande njengoko unjalo, akakuthandi njee, Uyakholwa nguwe.

Uyakufuna ukufunda banzi?Ukuzazi ubuni bakho obutsha kuKrestu sisehlo esikutsho ukhululeke ngendlela engummangaliso, ungafunda banzi ngaso kwezizicatshulwa zilandelayo: Kwabase Korinte besibini 5:17; KwabaseFiliphi 3:8-11.

USUKU IWESI 3: NGUBANI UMOYA OYINGCWELE?

Ngokwezobunzululwazi umdibaniso weemolethyuli ezimbini zomoya weHydrogen nemoletyhuli enye yomoya weOxygen (H2O) uba yimo ezindindi ezintathu (amanzi, umoya, umkhence) ingulaa mdibaniso mnye. Kananjalo ke, uThixo uzityhila kuthi ngeendlela ezintathu: uYise, unyana noMoya oyNgcwele (Khangela ku Mateyu 28:19). UThixo mnye, abekho bathathu. Ngommangaliso, kuthi kunjalo abe eziziqu zithathu. Masikhangele uMoya oyiNgcwele. UMoya uyeza ahlale ngaphakathi kuthi xa sisibangamaKrestu. Isikhitshane ifuna umoya okanye ayinakuhamba. UMoya oyiNgcwele, ngomoya oqhuba ubom bomKrestu.

Isifundisa ntoni iBhayibhile?7 Noko ke mna ndinixelela inyaniso; kunilungele ukuba ndimke; kuba, ndingemkanga, uMthetheleli akayi kuza kuni; ke, ndíthe ndemka, ndiya kumthumela kuni. 8 Efikile ke, uya kulohlwaya ihlabathi lidane, ngenxa yesono, nangenxa yobulungisa, nangenxa yomgwebo; 9 ngenxa yesono, ngokokuba bengakholwa kum; 10 ngenxa yobulungisa, ngokokuba ndisiya kuBawo, ize ningabi sandibona; 11 ngenxa yomgwebo, ngokokuba umphathi weli hlabathi egwetyiwe. 12 Ndisenezinto ezininzi zokuthetha kuni, kodwa aninako ukuzithwala ngoku. 13 Xa ke athe wafika yena uMoya wenyaniso, uya kunikhokelela kuyo yonke inyaniso; kuba engayi kuthetha okuphuma kuye, uya kuthetha izinto athe waziva, anibikele izinto ezizayo. 14 Yena uya kundizukisa; ngokuba eya kwamkela kokukokwam, aze anibikele ke. 15 Zonke ezo zinto anazo uBawo zezam; ngenxa yoko ndathi, uya kwamkela kokukokwam, aze anibikele. UYohane 16:7-15

Ithetha ukuthini kum?Ngubani uMoya oyiNgcwele? Kuthiwa 'nguMcebisi' into ethetha ukuba, ngumthuthuzeli, umomelezi, umniki-macebo nomncedi. Kuthiwa 'nguMoya weNyaniso' (v13). Simnikelwe ntoni? uMoya oyiNgcwele ngumncedi wethu (v7). UYesu wayekwazi ukuba sendaweni enye ngexesha, kodwa kuMoya oyiNgcwele, uyakwazi ukubakho kwizigidi zabantu ngexesha elinye. Yiyo loo nto kwakufanelekile ukuba uYesu abuyele ezulwini (v7).

Yintoni umsebenzi wakhe? Uyakwazi ukwenza abangengomaKrestu baguquke ezonweni zabo babhekekuThixo (8-10). Uyasinceda siyiqonde inyaniso eseBhayibhileni (v13).Usixelela ngentando kaThixo ngathi (v14) Usikhokelela ekumkhonzeni simzukise uYesu (v14). Wenza ukuba siluve ubabalo olumangalisayo lukaThixo (v15). Yiyo loo nto ukumazi nokumthobela uThixo kungenakwenzeka ngaphandle koMoya oyiNgcwele! Masibulele uThixo ngomhlobo nesipho esingumangaliso!

Ndingenza ntoni mna?Ziintoni ezikwenza uqwalasele imisebenzi kaMoya oyiNgcwele ebomini bakho? Thandaza ucele uMoya Oyingcwele ukuba ayongeze imisebenzi yaKhe ebomini bakho.

Ufuna ukufunda banzi?UHezekile 37:1-10 ukunika umfanekiso onamandla wefuthe likaMoya oyiNgcwele elenza amakholwa amakholwa abenodlamko.Khangela kuYohane 14:16-17

LITHINI INYATHELO LAM ELILANDELAYO?Wamkelekile eKhaya. Siyathemba ukuba uyakusoloko uziva ukokwenu kuyo nayiphi na icawe yelibandla kwindawo ngeendawo. Yiza rhoqo ngeeCawa ubeyinxalenye yokukhula elukholweni nokubanabahlobo.

USUKU IWESI 4: UMNQAMLEZO

Ngexesha lemfazwe yesibini (II) yeHlabathi, iqela leezenzululwazi lalisakha ibhombu ye-atom. Omnye wabakhandi waawisa isipanera ngaphakathi kwesixhobo sesiqhushumbisi. Kuba yayisazi ukuba ngemizuzwana nje loo nto ingaqhushumbisa isiqhushumbisi, enye inzululwazi yaya ngesandla yanqakula esosipanera. Waasindisa ubom babobonke, kodwa yena waphulukana nobakhe ubom. Eli libali elingqina umyalezo womnqamlezo, apho uYesu wafela khona izono zethu ukuze kungafuneki ukuba senze njalo thina.

Isifundisa ntoni iBhayibhile?25 Ke kaloku, laye ililixa lesithathu, abambethelela ngalo emnqamlezweni. 26 Waye umbhalo wetyala Lakhe ubhalwe ngaphezulu, kwathiwa, UKUMKANI WAMAYUDA. 27 Kwaye kubethelelwe Naye eminqamlezweni izihange zizibini, esinye ngasekunene, esinye ngasekhohlo Kwakhe. 29 Baye abadlulayo bemnyelisa, behlunguzela iintloko zabo, besithi, Uha! Wena uchitha itempile, uyakhe ngeentsuku ezintathu, 30 zisindise, uhle emnqamlezweni. 31 Ngokukwanjalo nababingeleli abakhulu, bedlala ngaye phakathi kwabo, benababhali, babesithi, Abanye wabasindisa; yena ngokwakhe akanakuzisindisa. 32 UKristu,* uKumkani wakwaSirayeli, makehle kalokunje emnqamlezweni, ukuze sibone, sikholwe. Baye nabo babebethelelwe eminqamlezweni kunye naye bemngcikiva. 33 Ke kaloku lakuba lilixa lesithandathu, kwehla ubumnyama phezu kwawo wonke umhlaba, kwada kwalilixa lesithoba. 34 Ngalo ilixa lesithoba, wadanduluka uYesu ngezwi elikhulu, esithi, Eloyi! Eloyi! Lama sabhaktani? Oko kukuthi ngentetho evakalayo, Thixo wam! 35 Thixo wam! undishiyeleni na? Inxenye yababemi khona yakuva yathi, Yabonani, ubiza uEliya. 36 Wagidima ke omnye, wazalisa imfunxa ngeviniga, wayifaka engcongolweni, wamseza, esithi, Khanenze kuhle, khe sibone ukuba uEliya woza kumthula na. 37 Wathi ke uYesu, ekhuphe izwi elikhulu, waphuma umphefumlo. 38 Lathi ikhuselo lengcwele lakrazuka kubini, lithabathela phezulu lada lesa phantsi. 39 Ebonile ke umthetheli-khulu obemi malunga naye, ukuba wenjenjalo ukudanduluka waphuma umphefumlo, uthe, Inyaniso, lo mntu ubenguNyana kaThixo. UMarko 15:25-39

Ithetha ukuthini kum?UYesu wafumana ukufa ngendlela ebuhlungu, nengafanelekanga ebonwe ngabantu bonke/eyaboniswa abantu bonke. Kuko konke oku kukho into engabonakaliyo kunye nembi kakhulu eyehlayo/eyenzekayo. Yena, ongenasono wafumanisa/wafumana isohlwayo sesono sethu ukuze sixolelwe. Yiyo loo nto waziva elahliwe nguYise (ivesi 34). Kuthe xa 'ephefumla okokugqibela', ikhuselo letempile lakrazuka kubini - ngokwayo (ivesi38). Ithetha ntoni le nto? Kudala ngaphambi kokufika kukaYesu, amaYuda akha itempile. UThixo wayehlala kuyo, kweyona ndawo ingcwele. Akukho mntu wayenokungena ngekhuselo ngaphandle kombingeli omkhulu kanye ngonyaka. Oku kwakukhumbuza abantu ukuba isono sabo sinzulu kwaye sibahlukanisile kuThixo. Kodwa njengoko uYesu wayesifa, ikhuselo lakrazuka ngokungummangaliso. Oku kuthetha ukuba isithintelo phakathi kwaboni (Thina) no uThixo satshatyalaliswa lidini likaYesu! Umnyango ngoku uvulelekile ukuba siphile ngokusondeleyo kuThixo, ngaphandle kwezono zethu zangaphambili, esele zixolelwe. Ngokwenene zindaba ezimnandi ezi! UYesu usinika inkululeko kumatyala ethu aphinde asinike ulwalamano olusondeleyo noThixo. Ewe kaloku, oku kusebenza kuthi xa sifumana uxolelo-oluthengwe ngegazi Lakhe kwaye singene emnyangweni ovulekileyo, ngokubeka ukholo lwethu kuYesu kunye nomnqamlezo.

USUKU IWESI 5: UKUKHOLELWA KUKRESTU YEDWA.

Kwakukho intombazana encinci eyayifuna ukusondela kuThixo. Ngobunye ubusuku uThixo wamnika iphupho. Kweliphupho lakhe wayefuna ukutsiba iliwa eliphezulu ukuze afikelele kuThixo phezulu. Uzamile, wazama kodwa akakwazanga ukufikelela. Ediniwe kwaye nomphefumlo wakhe sele ephantsi, wayekulungele ukunikezela kwaye ehle aphindele ezantsi. Kuthe kusenjalo, uyewabona itrampoline ezantsi kweliwa. Ngoko nangoko lentombi incinci iyeyayeka ukubambelela, ukuyogabha kwi-trampoline, yema kanye phezulu noThixo.Sisondela njani kuThixo? Yekela. Ziphose kuye uThixo.

Isifundisa ntoni iBhayibhile?1 Intliziyo yenu mayingakhathazeki; kholwani kuThixo, nikholwe nakum. 2 Endlwini kaBawo zininzi iindawo zokuhlala; ukuba bekungenjalo, ngendanixelelayo. Ndiyemka, ndiya kunilungisela indawo; 3 ukuba ke ndimkile ndaya kunilungisela indawo, ndiya kubuya ndize, ndinamkelele kum ngokwam; ukuze apho ndikhona mna, nibe khona nani. 4 Apho ke ndiya khona mna niyakwazi, nendlela niyayazi. 5 Uthi uTomas kuye, Nkosi, asazi apho uya khona; singathini na ke ukuyazi indlela? 6 Uthi uYesu kuye, Ndim indlela, ndim inyaniso, ndim ubomi; akukho namnye uzayo kuBawo, engezi ngam. 7 Ukuba benindazile mna, ninge nimazile noBawo; ngoku ke niyamazi, nimbonile nokumbona. 8 Athi uFilipu kuye, Nkosi, sibonise uYihlo, kosanelisa. 9 Uthi uYesu kuye, Ndinaxesha lingakanana ndinani nje, akukandazi na, Filipu? Lowo undibonileyo mna umbonile uBawo; ùtsho ngani na ke wena ukuthi, Sibonise uYihlo? UYohane 14:1-19

Ithetha ukuthini kum?Asinosondela kuThixo ngokunyuka intaba yenkolo nokuziphatha kwethu ngaphandle Kwakhe. Yiyo lento uYesu weza, eza kusikhulula kubuxoki bokuba singazisindisa.Ubudlwelwano noThixo bufumaneka ngokholo kuYesu kuphela, nokufa kwakhe, efela izono zethu (v16). Kutheni le nto kukho inkolo ezininzi kangaka nje ehlabathini? Impendulo: Zonke zizinzame zokufikelela kuThixo ngomzamo. Kwi nkolo i-Buddism ithetha ngeendlela ezilithoba zokufikelela kuThixo. I-Islam ithetha ngemithetho emihlanu. Kwi nkolo yobuHindu bakholwa ukuba iziphumo zezenzo zomntu kobu bomi kunye nobomi bangaphambili, zithatha isigqibo ngekamva labo ebomini. Kwi nkolo yobuYuda bakholelwa kwiTorah.Nangona ezinkolo zinobunyani nobuhle ekufuneka bulondoloziwe, ziphazama ngokucinga ukuba uzuza uThixo ngemisebenzi yakho. Zonke zikubonisa 'ileli' ekusa kuThixo.

Yintoni ehlukanisa ubuKristu kwezinkolo? Impendulo: Nangona inkolo ikukuzama kwabantu ukufikelela kuThixo, ubuKristu yinzame kaThixo yokufikelela ebantwini. Ngenxa yokuba asinakufika kuye ngemizamo yethu, Uyeza kuthi njengoko sithembela kubabalo Lakhe olungasifanelanga! U-Kristu luhlobo lwe "trampoline" engubabalo. Njengoko sithembela kuKristu sifumana amandla wokoyisa iintliziyo ezikhathazekileyo (v1), uloyiko lokufa (v3), kunye nokungazi ukuba ngubani kanye kanye uThixo (v7). KukuYesu kuphela apho sinokuyifumana indlela, inyaniso, ubomi benene kunye nolwalamano lobuqu noThixo njengoBawo wethu (V6). Olu lubabalo olumangalisayo!

Ndingenza ntoni?Ingaba uyekile ukuthembela emandleni akho ukuze ufumane ukwamkelwa nguThixo? Ingaba uthembele kwi-trampoline enguYesu, kunye nenceba yakhe engasifanelanga, ukuze ufumane ukwamkelwa nguThixo? Ingaba ikhona into ekunqandayo ukuba uxhume kule-trampoline?

IBhayibhile isifundisa ntoni?8 Ke ngoku, nani aba, kulahleni oku konke: ingqumbo, umsindo, ulunya, ukunyelisa; ukuthetha amanyala kungabikho emlonyeni wenu. 9 Musani ukuxokisana, nizihlubile nje umntu omdala, kunye nezenzo zakhe, 10 nambatha lowo umtsha, uhlaziyelwa ekwazini okuhle, ngokomfanekiselo walowo wamdalayo; 11 apho kungekho mGrike namYuda, kwalùka nokungaluki, abangaphucukanga nabangenankcubeko, khoboka nokhululekileyo; usuke uKristu waba kwinto yonke, kwaye uyaphila kuthi sonke. 12 Yambathani ngoko, njengabanyulwa bakaThixo, abangcwele, abathandiweyo, iimfesane zeemfefe, ububele, ukuthobeka kwentliziyo, ubulali, ukuzeka kade umsindo, ninyamezelana, 13 nixolelana, ukuba ubani uthi abe nokusola ngakubani; njengokuba naye uKristu wanixolelayo, yenjani njalo nani. 14 Ke, phezu kwazo zonke ezo zinto, yalékani uthando, oluyintambo yogqibelelo. 15 Uxolo lukaThixo, enabizelwa kwakulo mzimbeni mnye, malulawule ezintliziyweni zenu, nibe nokubulela.

Ithini le nto kum?Kutheni nje kufuneka koyiswe iyantlukwano nenkohlakalo ebantwini? Xa silandela uYesu asisabalulwa ngomgangatho wentlalo, izithethe, uhlanga, okanye isini kuba sibalulwa ngokobuni bethu obutsha kuThixo (v10) njengeentandane nabanyulwa bakaThixo. Loo nto ithetha ukuba umKrestu oseNigeriya unokuvana nomKrestu oseMelika okanye eChina ngaphezu komhlobo wakhe waseNigeriya ongengomKrestu! Sidityaniswa kukuba, sonke sinobudlelawane noThixo. Yiyo le nto uhlanga, izithethe, umgangatho wentlalo, isini, imfundo,nobutyebi zingenakusihlukanisa. UKrestu uyinto yonke kwaye usezintweni zonke (v11). Silukhangela njani uxolo? Ukukhululeka emsindweni nakwintiyo (v8). Yiba novelwano, nobubele, intobeko, ubulali, umonde, ukuxolela, nokubanothando (v12-13). Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kukuvumela uthando lukaThixo lusidibanise sibebanye eluxolweni (v14-15). Inguquko mayiqale ebandleni (v12). Ukuba abantu bakaThixo abakwazi ukuxolelana, ayaphela amathemba. Yiba ngumenzi woxolo (Mateyu 5:9). UMoya oyingcwele uyakukukhokela ukomeleze.
